The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:The following story is a poetic version of Chief Joseph's narrative, as given by Bishop Hare of Niobrarain the April number of the North American Review, 1879.

Its dignity and pathos seemed worthy of being preserved in a form less diffuse and more artistic.

The author trusts that the story has not lost in power by her attempt, as she has endeavored to preserve the simple and direct style of the Indian.

If this little book shall do anything to excite sympathy and justice for the Red Man, the author will be abundantly rewarded.
